1 GIT v1.5.4.5 Release Notes
2 ==========================
4 Fixes since v1.5.4.4
5 --------------------
7 * "git fetch there" when the URL information came from the Cogito style
8 branches/there file did not update refs/heads/there (regression in
9 1.5.4).
11 * Bogus refspec configuration such as "remote.there.fetch = =" were not
12 detected as errors (regressionin 1.5.4).
14 * You couldn't specify a custom editor whose path contains a whitespace
15 via GIT_EDITOR (and core.editor).
17 * The subdirectory filter to "git filter-branch" mishandled a history
18 where the subdirectory becomes empty and then later becomes non-empty.
20 * "git shortlog" gave an empty line if the original commit message was
21 malformed (e.g. a botched import from foreign SCM). Now it finds the
22 first non-empty line and uses it for better information.
24 * When the user fails to give a revision parameter to "git svn", an error
25 from the Perl interpreter was issued because the script lacked proper
26 error checking.
28 * After "git rebase" stopped due to conflicts, if the user played with
29 "git reset" and friends, "git rebase --abort" failed to go back to the
30 correct commit.
32 * Additional work trees prepared with git-new-workdir (in contrib/) did
33 not share git-svn metadata directory .git/svn with the original.
35 * "git-merge-recursive" did not mark addition of the same path with
36 different filemodes correctly as a conflict.
38 * "gitweb" gave malformed URL when pathinfo stype paths are in use.
40 * "-n" stands for "--no-tags" again for "git fetch".
42 * "git format-patch" did not detect the need to add 8-bit MIME header
43 when the user used format.header configuration.
45 * "rev~" revision specifier used to mean "rev", which was inconsistent
46 with how "rev^" worked. Now "rev~" is the same as "rev~1" (hence it
47 also is the same as "rev^1"), and "rev~0" is the same as "rev^0"
48 (i.e. it has to be a commit).
50 * "git quiltimport" did not grok empty lines, lines in "file -pNNN"
51 format to specify the prefix levels and lines with trailing comments.
53 * "git rebase -m" triggered pre-commit verification, which made
54 "rebase --continue" impossible.
56 As usual, it also comes with many documentation fixes and clarifications.
